Every time there is a student panel, someone asks how we should communicate with students. But all students are different. Some of our students say they preferred emails, and it helps building digital skills for employability, but they find emails with multiple topics overwhelming #altc25

Good to hear the student panel busting the myth of digital natives. Whilst they are comfortable using technology for leisure, they know that using it critically and academically is different. Something that @jsecker.bsky.social and I were discussing with academics yesterday in our MA module #altc25

Albania, this was great until the scary man came along, thankfully back to the lady shouting "snek, snek, snek"! #Eurovision

Great vocals from Malta and the youngest asking why they have hardly any clothes on 😂 Portugal has grown on me during the week. A nice relaxed song. #Eurovision

A banger from Germany and now a less exciting one from Greece with a pointless dress change at the end #Eurovision

Poland - another surprise from the semi-finals. Not a favourite but she is singing well. #Eurovision

Agree with Graham, this is such a lovely song from Italy and a nod to Glam Rock fashion from Lucio #Eurovision

Great staging from Latvia. Think the song is growing on me. Thankfully they managed to release one of the singers from the strings hanging down #Eurovision

And now a cracking song from Iceland's version of Jedward. Love this song #Eurovision

The UK entry asking "what the hell just happened?" which is what we'll all be thinking if we actually win 😂 it's a nice quirky song, and they have sung it well, so who knows. #Eurovision

Students are motivated to complete the essential digital skills module at King's by getting a higher education certification award/digital certificate (78%) and self identification of a need to develop specific skills (74%) #THEdigitalUK

Next up at #THEdigitalUK is a session from colleagues at King's College London about digital skills development. Essential Digital Skills is a Moodle module for students focussed on core areas related to learning platforms, digital skills for success, being a digital citizen and wellbeing.

Listening to @kerrypinny.bsky.social talking about the @altuk.bsky.social coffee break sessions as a good way to bring the community together, especially those working on their own. The coffee break provides a space to share practice and discuss challenges. #THEdigitalUK

Staffing panel at #THEdigitalUK - we haven't trained our leaders to manage staff in a hybrid context. Reminds me when I requested WFH and my then Director asked how I would know if staff were upset if I couldn't see them. It's all about being connected and developing positive working relationships.

Staffing panel at #THEdigitalUK discussing the ongoing challenge of recruiting and retaining digital talent where salaries in HE are not aligned with what they can achieve in the private sector. The HERA framework is more geared towards academic and research roles.

Data cited by panellist from Harvey Nash - if a job description states 3 or more days on site, then you receive 50% fewer applications from females and 33% fewer from those from diverse backgrounds. Strathclyde offer remote working which has improved diversity, now 50-50 gender split #THEdigitalUK

Is the technology wanting to contribute to #THEdigitalUK? Discussions about AI in the opening keynote produce a blown microphone. Now the lights are being dimmed in a discussion about AI and staffing.

Good point from @puiyin.bsky.social reminding us not to forget the digital divide when it comes to student use of AI. We need to level the playing field and ensure equitable access, but suppliers need to work with us to ensure that this is possible given current financial constraints #THEdigitalUK

Great to hear how Chester have enabled dialogues around AI with staff, through committees, special interest groups and an online community. Wonder how many staff have engaged though. We have found it has been those interested in/enthusiastic about AI, and not so easy to reach others. #THEdigitalUK

Panel on balancing AI innovation and ethics in our classrooms at #THEdigitalUK emphasising the importance of ensuring students understanding the ethical aspects, including around the labour force, and enabling students to choose not to use AI.

Interesting perspectives from #THEDigitalUK keynote panel about the HE sector being behind the digital curve due to underinvestment and legacy architecture. plus outdated pedagogy. Need to lobby suppliers to improve the systems they provide, and we should look more at collaboration/shared services.

Hearing from Jane Mooney from Manchester Uni about supporting digital capabilities. Especially interested in the Digital Peer Learning Network with Man Met. Would be good to have a local or national network that our Student Digital Assisatnts could join to share ideas #digifest25

Lesson learnt from Paul Iske: Empty seat at the table - if you are going to spend thousands building a bridge for squirrels to cross a road safely, don't forget to ask the squirrels if it's what they want. Only 1 squirrel used the bridge. #digifest25

Creativity can rapidly decline, and towards the end of your career you head towards terminal seriousness. We need to break out of the patterns that break and suppress our #creativity! #creativeHE #Digifest25 #edtech
Massove creativity at age 4, rapidly drips by 8 thanks to school. Continues declining till you retire when it goes up a bit more.

Paul Iske suggesting we refer to AI as 'additional intelligence' and this makes much more sense in helping to frame it as a supportive aid, rather than a replacement to human intelligence. @jisc.bsky.social #digifest25

I love this. A project plan is a set of lies that make others decide what we want them to decide. It's so true! It'll never end up the way you planned it, its definitely never a straight path! #Digifest25

My task for 2025 is completing a 42,000 piece jigsaw that comes in 7 bags of 6,000 pieces. This is progress so far on the first bag. The picture is a selection of landmarks & creatures from around the world. When complete it's over 7m wide. I will need to hire a hall to put it together 😂
